Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HomeWAV at 3.8 against SNF Connect App's 2.9. HomeWAV also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 8) and chart position (#158 vs unranked). SNF Connect App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
